La Classe de Mme Bena

Bonjour!

We have been having a great week here in room 150! In Language, we have been consolidating our knowledge of the vowel sounds "i" and "a" by practicing reading syllables.

We have played "Mémoire", trying to match pairs of vowels.

We have also done a silly word challenge, where the students get to ring a bell if they can correctly read a nonsense word made up of syllables we already know.

Yesterday was National Take Me Outside Day, so we did a nature walk around the school yard. We discussed seasonal changes we could see, and we also collected twigs for a craft :)

The students chose a shape to hang from a "décoration d'Halloween/d'automne", such as bats, pumpkins, colourful leaves, etc. 

They looked very spooky hanging up in our classroom today! Not all of these are finished, so a few more will be going home tomorrow :)

Our writing prompt for the day was to help Mme Bena choose a Halloween costume... the students drew a picture of a costume they would like to see me wear, and then they wrote about it! Let me tell you, they laughed quite a bit! :)

News items:

1) I wanted to thank those who were able to order from this September's Scholastic book order-- your orders allow us to get new books for the classroom, so a few weeks ago we voted, and today we were able to add three exciting new titles to our classroom library. Merci! :)

2) Reminder - tomorrow is our field trip! We will be outside all day so please ensure your child is dressed warmly (winter coats, snow pants, winter boots, mittens, and a hat are all good ideas!) Please also remember to send them a lunch-- if your child usually orders pizza, they will not receive it until we return to school at 2:30. They will need lots of healthy food to give them energy until then :)

Have a great night, and enjoy the s-n-o-w! :)
